MCSC executed major industrial civil projects for green field and brown field sites including: site preparation, underground utilities, heavy concrete foundations and tanks, buildings, and site finishing works.

Industrial Sewer Lines and Buried Services

MCSC executed projects for installation of industrial sewer lines and buried services. Major projects include Bapco Refinery’s intermediate, clean and oily water sewer systems rehabilitation and upgrade using cast iron or GRE (glass reinforce epoxy resin) pipes. Project scope includes collection of process waste stream contaminated with oil, hydrocarbon and chemicals from operating areas and from the process units and directing to oil separators.

Laying Process Piping and Pipelines

Major process piping and pipeline projects for oil, gas, petrochemical, power and heavy engineering plants are executed. The scope includes process piping fabrication, pipeline and piping installation, testing and commissioning. Work also comprises the installation of above-ground and under-ground process piping systems, which includes the design, detailing, supply of materials, fabrication, routing of new pipelines, tie-ins to existing lines, excavation and burial of lines, casting all necessary supports, foundations, manholes, coating and wrapping buried piping, testing, flushing, pigging, disinfection, and painting. MCSC has completed numerous high and low pressure piping projects of carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel and other special grade materials using SMAW, GTAW, FCAW and SAW welding processes.

Storage Tanks / Silos

MCSC carries out construction and repair by a specialized dedicated team on both fixed and floating roof tanks. The work involves foundations, the supply, fabrication and installation of tank floors, shells, floating and cone roofs, wind girders, platforms, stairways, rolling ladders and appurtenances, testing and coating. Several new tank construction projects have been executed by MCSC on EPC contract basis.

Pressure Vessels & Boilers

Refractory

MCSC has supplied resources and experienced manpower to execute refractory projects. Three key projects successfully completed by MCSC are: Alba Calciner Rotating Kiln (York Linings International, UK), Alba Replacement of Anode Baking Furnace Refractory (Gouda Vuurvast, Netherland), Alba Line 5 Anode Baking Furnace (Forter Termica Industrial S.A, Portugal).

FRP, GRP and GRE Piping

Special application piping like Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) and Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) are executed since many years. These piping systems are installed for underground piping, sewer and drainage, corrosive chemicals, oil & water flow lines, power plant piping, offshore platform applications, and piping in corrosive environment. A team of trained, certified and experienced craftsmen are maintained to fabricate, install and commission piping in a wide range of diameters.

High and Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting

Since 2006, MCSC is providing its services with high and ultra-high pressure water jetting (up to a pressure of 50,000 PSI) and associated activities. Our services include high pressure water jetting for blasting, cold cutting of plates, pipes, vessels, columns tanks and concrete, and cleaning of tanks, exchangers, columns and vessels.

MCSC is a Certified Member in good standing of the Water Jet (WJTA]) Technology Association. We maintain a team of trained and certified Supervisors and Technicians to perform ultra-high pressure (UHP) water jetting jobs
